Installed from XDA Special with no problems. I data wiped/factory reset before and after update just to be safe. Already had the ext4 partition and apps were halfway reinstalled after booting into CM6 and are updating pretty much on their own. So no need to format or repartition if coming from the Special. Applied the twisted inception theme for CM6.3 and it works, so others should.

Thanks a bunch Mz Nice work Bud.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kjskho1:
can i suggest this to b updated onto 1st post?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] islubio:
Can i use minitool to partition ext 4? or do i have to do it as mentioned in xda special
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I think you can partition with minitool but make your ext into ext2 then use Mioze7Ae's new Open recovery to change ext2 into ext4. The phone won't be able to read your ext4 if you make it on the pc

Sense Theme for CM6.3.0 - RC2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1214213

Sense Theme is working on CM6.3.0 - RC2 :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fernovaes:
Good job man. But I have a problem: My GPRS (2G) is not working in my city just got wifi and gprs (2g). Is there any way to make it work? Again, congratulations for the work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Did you apply any of the baseband updates? You sig suggests you've been running Dexter's ROM. If it was working on Dexter's ROM, you might want to try the Dexter-based baseband update? Actually, I may want to make that one be the default anyway...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
So, it looks like Camera and Camcorder are badly broken in this release (I got instant reboot when taking a picture using flash and a system freezup when taking a non-flash photo). On the other hand, hardware video playback seems to be improved. At least the videos I've tried that wouldn't hardware playback on 6.3.0-RC1 do now.

I also accidentally built the wrong torch.apk. [EDIT: hotfix1 added to 6.3.0-RC2 post]

It also looks like the cleanup from the security breach at kernel.org is preventing full repo sync's at the moment. I've already got a local copy but if anyone's trying to repo sync, I think that's what's going on. Anyway, that's somewhat of a temporary monkey wrench.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] S7icky:
are you planning on having the camera fixed in the final build?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Doubtful. Honestly, who really needs the camera? It's never worked very well anyway.

/sarcasm ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] S7icky:
lol i know right
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tharan.a:
Do I need to flash the gapps update? I actually don't use many of Google's apps, so would it be safe if I skipped that step and just flash the RC2 update? As for the camera, I'm using Vignette anyway...it takes better pictures for me, but how is the video recording? Also if I may ask Mz, why are the camera functionalities broken on our CM6? Just about getting ready to flash the update tho, will update with my experiences!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
The gapps has things in it like GTalk and voice search but also core elements of google products. Sure it seems like if you don't use them, why install them, but in actuality you probably are using some of them w/o you knowing.

Example: If I have a problem with the market, I can usually attribute it to GTalk not being signed in (some have found this too and some have deleted GTalk altogether and been fine with the market) Btw, I think the market is in the gapps pack. If you have Titanium, you can install the gapps pack and jsut freeze some here and there and make usre no advers effects.

I am using Vignette also and have actually uninstalled the camera.apk completely.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Vignette probably won't work... I think the problems are in the system libraries. The camera and camcorder haven't fully worked on any of the XT720 CM6 releases yet. I haven't figured out exactly what the problem is yet.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] molohov:
As usual, I loaded sileshn's gingerbread theme for CM6.3 and it works! I surmise most of the 6.3.0 themes will work (minus the bootloader option on the power menu as your pointed already, Mioze).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AA1973:
Camera360 doesn't work as well like the standard one. Got (a) permanent freeze(s) with the sandclock ... did remind me of good old win95 -times :-)

But for the moment I am quite happy.

Edit: solved with RC3 - thx Mio

MilestoneXT720 - CM 6.3.0 by MZ
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tharan.a:
Here's what I've experienced so far,

Haptic feedback is happy yet again, just like on 2.1!

LED's are working again.

Free memory hovers around 55MB with AutoKiller Memory Optimizer.

Only bugs that I've noticed so far,

Camera like MZ pointed out does not work, when I attempted to take a picture with Vignette and the Stock Camera my phone rebooted.

Video recording, it seems for me...I can record a video but I can't play it back? "Sorry, this video cannot be played."

Of course, no radio but who really uses that anyway?

So, its just media that needs work and I guess the gallery button needs to be remapped to something else. For HDMI, has anyone tried it? I never have but that's only cause I don't have the cable and even then, still don't think I'd use it.

Anyways, hope this helped....can't wait for the final release!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
First of all thanks again Mz !!!

I try it since about 3hours now

And first i don t had to apply any baseband everything work fine (2g;3g;h...) (I m in France)

I don t even clear dalvik cache or anything (maybe it s because i came from the old 6.3...)

I just apply the RC2 update; the gapps and that s all...

I test the TI theme from sileshn and Milaq 6.3 and it worked fine too (I just add the battery icon from honeycomb i think... i don t like the ti one if someone want the update just ask)

The feedback seems the same that on the 2.1 but I think i m the only one but i don t miss it since we can tweak it in the cyanogen settings (I like it with even less power i set it to 14)

But the LED don t work (like in all the cyanogen) I don t know how you manage it tharan.a...

Or may be we don t speak of the same led I was talking about the 4led on the bottom which light up with the screen (for the notification led i don t test it but i m very happy with ledmeknow so i don t miss it so much)

edit: the camera don t work too...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tharan.a:
I was referring to the 4 LEDS at the bottom too, they're working for me...can anyone else chime in on whether its working for them or not?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I try i t again and again and it s the same

It light up when you change your luminosity but when the screen shut down it never light up again...

Anyone else have them working???????? :confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
You can't get the 2.1 haptic feedback simply by tweaking the cyanogen settings.

XT720 has two different vibrators. The regular one and a different one called a "linear vibrator". The one that was used in 2.1 is the linear vibrator. The linear vibrator produces more of a subtle buzz that seems appropriate for UI interaction, but the regular vibrator produces a more robust vibration that seems good for things like notification of a call when silenced in your pocket. I'm still studying Motorola's 2.1 smali, but I think what they did is something like if the screen was on they used the linear vibrator and if the screen was off they used the regular vibrator. I tried that at first but the problem is that when a call comes in, it turns the screen on so it ends up using the less noticeable linear vibrator.

What I did here is slightly different--I made all short vibrations (<150ms) use the linear vibrator and all longer vibrations (>150ms) use the regular vibrator. The idea being that UI feedback are usually a series of short vibes (each ~30-40ms) and things like trying to get your attention in your pocket include long buzzes (>500ms). Eventually I'd like to make that threshold configurable in settings.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Ok I understand now!!! (It s a bit long I know...)

Indeed the call vibration is a lot stronger now...

Thanks !
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Same here. Probably we just need to add something to the screen wake-up code to turn on the button-leds. We may be able to get some idea's from reading Motorola's 2.1 smali. At least we don't have to *write* smali anymore :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fernovaes:
I can not use link2sd. When I select ext2 or ext3 he says: Mount script can not be created.

mount: mounting / dev/block/vold179: 2 on data/sdext2 failed: No such device.

Any idea of the problem? How can I fix?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
In this ROM you need to create a /sd-ext/link2sd directory and reboot. For example, you can do that using the included Terminal Emulator app:

$ su

# mkdir /sd-ext/link2sd

then reboot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fernovaes:
thanks for help.

I'm going back to 6.2 Cyanogen because it is more stable. I use the camera much. and every time I use it restarts. I can report some problems I'm having some solution and if you display for all?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Ok, I think overall the new media libraries have caused a big regression. In any case we had workarounds for the playback problems. So I'm going to back those out for now and put them on the backburner. Hopefully that will get the Camera back to how it was on 6.1.2. If so, I'll upload that as RC3 tonight.

Edit: Camera works again. I'm going to see if there are any quick fixes for camcorder (it only offers CIF at the moment), and then shoot off another build.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fernovaes:
One suggestion: could leave the directory created for link2sd, I'm still having work, because I created the directory and it still gives errors.

Have you thought about porting the t-mobile theme chooser 7.0 for this rom? The developer of the Xperia X8 did. It's pretty good.

Problem I found:

2G did not work, even changed the baseband. But when I use the 6.2 worked fine.

Again, congratulations for the work. And sorry my English. I missed some writing classes.: D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] molohov:
No need to read smali! I just discovered: to wake up the LEDS (which mine are permanently now, for the moment), input this:

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Perhaps this can be inserted into the screen wake up code?

Edit: by permanent, I mean PERMANENT. Turning the screen on and off isn't turning them off!!!! How am I going to sleep!!! Haha, just kidding, this will turn them off again:

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

In fact, any non-zero number (within what bound I don't know) seems to do the trick.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Well, by "read" I meant "grep" :D But for some reason, my button leds have decided to just work since this afternoon. I could swear they weren't working last night. It may have to do with which display profile is active. Right now, (using auto backlight brightness) when I power on the screen they come on and then turn off after a few seconds, so maybe there's some sort of feedback between the screen backlight and the light sensor that's shutting them down. But right now they're always turning on (at least initially) when I press the power button no matter which brightness setting I have selected. Weird. Earlier I had it on the always-bright setting or always dim settings and they seemed to be working fine. So I think maybe some policy is driving them...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] molohov:
Playing around with this a bit, and I can produce this strange (to me, at least) chain of events right now indoors (perhaps results will change in sunlight). Forgive me for taking up space:

Starting from dim (lowest brightness)

1. Enable auto backlight brightness (LEDs off)

2. Turn off screen (LEDs off)

3. Turn screen back on (LEDs still off, but brightness increased over the previous dim value)

4. Disable auto backlight brightess (boom, LEDs are on)

5. Turn screen off (LEDs off)

6. Turn screen on again (LEDs still off)

Starting from bright (highest brightness)

1. Enable auto backlight brightness (LEDs on)

2. Turn off screen (LEDs off)

3. Turn screen back on (LEDs remain off...)

4. Disable auto backlight brightness (LEDs turn on)

5. Turn screen off (LEDs turn off)

6. Turn screen on again (LEDs stay off...)

Time to read up on some source!

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Riley600:
Hi Mioze7Ae! Great work on the CM6 ROM! Definitely one of the best yet.

One thing I've noticed is that the market isn't updating to the newest version. I think someone else mentioned that in the thread but I don't recall it ever being resolved/looked into. Do you have any suggestions? :)

Thanks again!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
We don't update to new market cause we have permissions problems with new one.

BTW, for god sake, why you need it?

p.s. we will get it in cm7 for someday...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I don't remember seeing any solutions to the market not self-updating other than to manually download and install a newer version. I actually don't even remember if any of our custom rom's ever self updated the market...

Edit: Oh, right. I need to look at that permissions problem. I didn't understand how to reproduce what you were doing to get the permissions error message.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Mine did :P ehhehehhehehheheeh you mad bro?

That was for your 900th thanks

KEEP IT UP WHOOOOO!!!!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
It's just get updated with everything else after rom installation.

After that it can't be launched.

Btw, now i finished mine project on mine work and will try to help you.. as i can =)

First of all, will try to fix fm radio... according to Quarx(defy cm mainteiner and developer) it shouldn't be so hard.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Riley600:
I believe this was the reference to the market not updating to the latest version.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Install this apk for the last android market

edit i didn t see that there is a new version of the market (3days old...) you can find it here http://www.multiupload.com/XNB15Q5EO1

Its the 3.1.3 version (tested on the 6.3 and it works)

Damn. I created this folder and rebooted. Stuck at CM boot screen. Dont have a backup of my apps and data. How do I solve it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ashish7350:
Try removing battery and rebooting see if that helps, if no then again remove battery and reboot holding volume up button, this should take you to recovery boot. Update with the ROM version you are using currently and gapps too and reboot without wiping anything, hope it works..............I tried it once and it worked for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kabaldan:
All you have to do is run (one time) in terminal on phone or in adb shell:

tune2fs -O ^huge_file /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

It will remove the huge_file support from the ext partition config.

Btw., data itself present on ext partition will stay intact by tune2fs, it is not formating it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fernovaes:
Good Job man.

The light from the camera when we press the button does not light. You know what the problem is?

You can use the original app for motorola camera?

Not yet tested the 2g. Today I will test and inform.

You can add the T-Mobile Theme chooser that exists in 7 CM? It is great to customize the device.

Sorry so many questions and suggestions. It is so far the CM6 is the best rom I've used this unit.

I was beginning to think I did sell my horrible deal to buy the Xperia X8 XT720.:o
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Can you run "OR > SD Card Utilities > Save Diagnostics" and post the /sdcard/sdcard-info.txt file it generates?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Great! I'll add detection and removal of that to the boot scripts.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The default baseband in 6.1.2 was the Dexter13 version (UK /system/etc/motorola + Korean libril-moto-umts-1.so). It's still the default in 6.3, so maybe just don't apply a baseband update and I would expect it to be the same as in 6.1.2.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
This hasn't happened to me. Sorry, I don't have too many ideas. Did you end up going back on 6.1.2 or did you try RC3? I've checked that the default basebands in 6.1.2 and 6.3 (both RC2 and RC3) have always been the Dexter versions. Is your proximity sensor working?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Thanks, I added it to the list of themes in the RC3 post (my thanks button is dead for the day).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] psirage:
I posted the same question in General, but no replies there.

I tried this with CM6.1.2 and CM6.3.0 - RC3. With or without swap. youtube comes with the ROM or latest from market.

After a day or so, my phone sometimes stop streaming youtube. Neither youtube app or flash video through browser works. It would stream / play for a few seconds, then stops with an error.

I tried toggling airplane mode, toggling wifi, using 3G data vs wifi, or quick reboot. Nothing fixes it except for a full reboot.

I am going to uninstall flash to see if that changes anything. Has anybody seen this? I don't have this issue with MIUI or 2.1.

Is there anything I can do to help figure out what's going on? Thanks.

Can you post an update for the battery icon only plz?

After applying the update in OpenRecovery, I can't boot up my phone because it is stuck at the M logo :/ Is there something I didn't read and did wrong?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Russian Menace:
Chances are that way. Update of OR could not lead to such effects at all. Because the OR is not responsible for loading the phone. And the process of updating is to decompress the archive to the root of the memory card. You then could not start itself OR, if you've done something wrong. But certainly to boot the phone it could not affect in any way.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AllGamer:
i finally got a good reason to install CM6 RC3 for our XT720 :D

the phone just became brain dead today for no good reason, it was only updating apps from Market, after reboot, it got forever stuck on the (M) boot screen

so I flashed it back to stock 2.1 UK sbf

now downloading all the stuff to flash it to CM6 yay!!! :)

LOL :p

--- UPDATE ---

OMG! :eek: CM6 is freaking amazingly spectacularly fast not even OC, is only running stock speed... this is fantastic !!! :D

Is this rom meant to be installed on top of the stock 2.1 firmware? I'm having all kinds of problems with it installed on top of the Wanhu rom.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] SickBeast:
Well, it turns out that this rom is completely stable for me when flashed on top of the Cincinnati Bell rom. Thank you very much Mioze! This is the best rom I've tried thus far. :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Russian Menace:
ALL custom firmware is recommended to install on the official firmware. Either install a similar earlier custom firmware, that is, as an example, CM6.3.0-RC3 install on CM6.3.0-RC1, RC2. That is, do an upgrade
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I don't believe he meant updating Open Recovery he is meaning he flashed this ROM in the manner it is meant to be thru update in open recovery.

I suppose you have this sorted out by now? Sometimes it's just a little hiccup that takes a battery pull and reboot. I usually wipe data/factory reset before and after installing a new ROM and I don't think it ever hurts to wipe dalvik and cache as well.

When I flashed this ROM it was over top the Special and it seemed to be ok. So are we supposed to start from scratch 2.1? I don't think you have to install from an earlier build of CM6 although sometimes it does seem to go smoother with less problems.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
That means your /sd-ext is not mounting. But your Link2SD error seems to be saying that you don't even have an sd-ext partition on your SD card, which is strange. Were you able to get the OpenRecovery XT720 installed? If so please use SD Card Utilities > Save diagnostics and post sdcard-info.txt
